Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Thanks Bernie :) It was my nephews first birthday - with all of the kids, I take a shot of the sunrise on their first birthday ... well, didn't get a sunrise :( But his mum liked these shots, so hopefully he will too when he 'grows up' a bit ;)

#2 is a master - nothing on earth can give the beautiful fading colours of a good mist or fog - excellent.

#1 I like but would think if some of the sky was cropped would make for a better overall picture

#2 love the fog and love the muted colors from the fog :!:

colour in the first one is nice. the second one is a bit underexposed and the flaring doens't add much to the pic.

Rel,

I like the first, but agree with LostDingo something needs to happen at the top. Cropping might work but it could destroy the perspective :?

Maybe a darken the sky just slightly so it's a little less dominant - a basic lasso selection curved around the top left, feathered selection 150px, brightness -30. And removed the dust bunny top right :D
The edit has banded up a bit from working of the web JPEG :(

Thanks Piro & Daniel.

Daniel - I agree, and I like what you've done.... I'll have to go back and have a bit of a tweak :) Thanks

Hi Narelle,

Both shots are very appealling but the second one is my fave. Great to be able to capture the mood of the scene so well.

Excellent stuff :lol:

Cheers

Love them both Rel,

I've been wanting fog, but whenever I go for my sunrise, it's nice and clear.

#2 would be my favourite if I had to chose one.

No wonder his Mom likes these 8) 8)

Cheers,

André
